Overview

From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.

Told in

The texts that tell it

What this means

A story is a group of accounts. Each carries its own source, its own cast and its own relationships, and where two disagree both stand. Account-level readings — a locator such as “Hesiod, Theogony 886–900”, with that account’s own cast and relationships — are not held yet: 0. The structured data this site imports records stories as subjects and has no equivalent of a narrative account. When accounts are added, reading one will change only the relationships that account asserts. Nothing will be deleted to make them agree.

None held here yet: 0 — an absence in the imported data, not a claim that no text tells it.

Connections

How fall of man connects

Affiliation 2

What this means

Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.

Does not imply a closed canon · the same status in every branch

Identification 1

What this means

One figure treated as another in some context. Not literal identity in all contexts, and usually a claim by a third party.

Does not imply literal identity in all contexts · that either tradition made the identification
